LOL,
I heard that line as
You can pick you nose, but not your relatives..

This happened just recently-

My nephew's son was at the center of a nasty custody battle, his wife passed away and she put, in her will, that the child was to go to the grandparents. While my nephew was fighting this in the court system the grandparents abducted the child and with the help of the local police and FBI the kid was returned to his dad.
------------
Roman, my nephew's son, went to a birthday party and was approached by a little girl who was black.

The girl, about 11 years old, told Roman that he was a cute guy and wanted know if she could have his phone number...

Roman told her that he, "wasn't allowed to talk to
her because she was black".

This attitude was hammered into the poor kid's head by the effing grandparents who are nothing but a bunch of racist trash.

And to solve the 'where are you from?' question...

A neighbor of ours would go across the border to Mexico often......He came back from one trip pretty drunk and when the Border Patrol officer asked him, 'Where are you from?'

He answered, 'From my mother'.....

He made it home safely.
